Answer 19

To find how much hey owed buy adding the tottal of how much the clothes cost, by adding them together. Then we found the discount by taking the tottal of clothes and multiplying it by the % we changed into a decimal.

Answer 20

Yes, but you multiplied the clothes and then added together and then multipled by percent to get savings. Good job!

Answer 21

right thank you so much for your help

Answer 22

Remember, when you see a sign that says % off... just multiply it by the purchase price and subtract it by that price. Or, simply take the total ... like 10% off, then multiply purchase price by 90% to get new price.
